An addiction specialist by training — and by experience
Robert Pols knows addiction care from the inside out. In recovery since 2005, he built a career as a peer worker, addiction specialist and certified mental health social worker (GGZ-agoog) — including co-founding a dual-diagnosis clinic at GGZ Oost Brabant.
His conviction has never changed: giving up is never an option.

Moving forward together. Professional, warm and person-centred.
Demonstrably well organised
Addiction Support meets the quality requirements Dutch municipalities set for social support (Wmo) providers.
Feedback from the field
“Robert knows when things matter and when there’s room for a lighter conversation. He is direct, clear and realistic. He says what he does and does what he says. A very good collaboration.”
Neighbourhood police officer, Cuijk district“The collaboration with Robert is of great value. From his own recovery experience he brings a perspective that a care network sometimes needs to move forward. He notices not only what is said, but also what is happening beneath the surface, asks questions and dares to break dynamics that stand in the way of progress — without judgement, connecting with both the client and the people around them.”
Network colleague, coordinator at the local Care & Nuisance reporting point“Robert is always reachable and honest when giving feedback.”
Remco, intervention client“The directness during sessions, and keeping people on track during conversations so we don’t drift. Involvement and a personal approach, both during and outside of meetings.”
